Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

“Every diet is the same. If you make more of your meals yourself you pay less. If you eat more prepared foods you pay more.”

When do you want us to come over for dinner?

I don’t know why your thread was voted down. It is sad that there are anti-science people in the vegan community who embrace the soy hysteria promoted by the meat and dairy industries. Many good soy products left the market as a result.
u/TheBodyPolitic1

Nope. They have CHEAP very, very, firm tofu and a nice frozen vegetable biriyani.

Load up on non-perishable basics: Dried legumes, oatmeal, potatoes, sunflower seeds ( cheap source of vitamin e and zinc ), brown rice, and frozen greens.

Do you happen to have any links? No. No snark, but just do a web search. McDonald’s has been in the news for having lost business during greedflation. I did a fast search on “Is inflation forcing people to learn how to cook” and got some interesting headlines.

Kite-Hill products are the worst as far as high prices go.

This system where we go to work so we can buy food pre-made. I think it is more like a large number of people stay in unfulfilling jobs to afford rents, mortgages, and have health care. I think buying ready made meals is partly about wanting to do other things on work nights. I do agree with you that people seem to be trained into not cooking. Greeflation, inflation, seem to be reducing that a little bit.
u/TheBodyPolitic1

Yes, but a different flavor.
